Chapter 134: Yan Ruyu and the Golden House
The Bao family is well aware of the psychology of diners.
When reporting the dishes, don’t report them.
When people ask, they use the excuse of whether the food is authentic or not. If the diners insist on ordering it, even if the taste does not meet their expectations, they will then tell the diners how delicious the authentic food is and wait for the chef to return from Liangcheng before inviting the diners to come back to taste it.
In this way, diners will have hope and endless imagination in their hearts.
Gu Feixue smiled and said:
"Then let's each have one. What's the price?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter hurriedly said, "Because the taste is not as good as the authentic ones, Zuixianlou adheres to the principle of customer first and will give you a 50% discount on both dishes."
Half off, fun!
Even if the customers don't like the taste, they will think that it's half the price and half the taste, and no one will object.
If it's okay, it makes people think that the authentic taste is better than the half-off one.
It seems that the Bao family is really smart!
After the dishes ordered by Gu Feixue arrived one by one, she used a serving chopstick to divide a portion and tasted them one by one.
The taste is almost the same as that of Liangcheng, but it is oilier, after all, it is Jiangzhou.
Although the price is a little higher than Jiangzhou, it is still reasonable.
As for the Yanjing roast duck and cream cake that were half price, Gu Feixue could only say that they were absolutely worth the price.
Yanjing roast duck is obviously also roasted with fruit wood. Although the roasting technique is not perfect, it is good enough to beat ordinary roast duck.
Several ways of eating were even modeled after those of Zuixianlou in Liangcheng. It seemed that Qin Ren went to Liangcheng not only to cooperate with the Gu family, but also to steal back Bao Hongcai's business secrets.
Although it is a bit inhumane to Bao Hongcai, everyone understands that if his family doesn't learn it, others will. There was no such thing as patent in ancient times.
As for the cream cake, it was obvious that they had cracked the cake part almost completely.
If you eat it carefully, you can feel that although the egg aroma is rich, the egg and milk flavors are not well blended, and there are grains of flour in some places, but the rest is good.
The cream part is a bit disappointing, with more sugar and less cream. It won’t make customers feel sick all of a sudden. Customers who have never been to Liangcheng will just think it’s okay.
Of course, if you have ever eaten authentic cream cake, you will be able to taste the difference at once.
However, they said that it was not made by an authentic chef, and they still gave a 50% discount. The authentic cream cake also came from Zuixianlou. No matter what, Zuixianlou would not have the same reputation as those restaurants that followed the trend.
From this we can see that the head of the Jiangzhou Bao family is definitely a meticulous person.
"People like this are generally not easy to get along with. No, or rather, they're too easy to get along with. You might think you're taking advantage, but in reality, you're actually suffering a lot."
On the way home, Gu Feixue was carrying a lunch box in one hand, which was filled with the leftover dishes from Zuixianlou.
After returning home and telling everyone in the Gu family what happened in Zuixianlou today, everyone in the Gu family also felt that the Bao family was not a simple family.
"Mom and Dad, I think we should start our own business first and wait until the time is right before contacting the Bao family. Otherwise, we will be easily deceived."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lang and Wang Shi also agreed with Gu Feixue's words, although they had no interest in doing business.
But Gu Tingchuan still has to go to school, and Gu Feixue will get married in the future, so they naturally would not refuse if they could help with business.
A few days later, Gu Feixue toured the streets and alleys of Jiangzhou and selected several good shops for sale.
After discussing with my family, we finally decided on two shops.
This time, Gu Feixue didn't plan to make things like Liangcheng's down jackets and cream cakes.
Of course, the essence is still food and daily necessities, but it is different from before.
As for food, she plans to open a pastry shop to sell some baked cakes and bread.
In Liangcheng, she gave some of the food to Chunxiang, and avoided selling those foods in Jiangzhou to prevent anyone from noticing anything unusual.
As for the products she uses, she doesn’t plan to do the clothing business, she plans to make essential oil and fragrance skin care products.
That is, the ancient cake shops and beauty salons.
She had already thought of the names of the stores: one was called Golden House and the other was called Yan Ruyu.
After all, she has a brother, Gu Tingchuan, who often says, "Books contain beautiful women and golden houses."
After buying the two shops with the Gu family, most of the money was spent.
After each of them hired two more people to renovate the shop, the Gu family had very little money left.
Fortunately, everyone in the Gu family believed in Gu Feixue's judgment and believed that as long as she was doing business, there was no reason not to make money.
On this day, the two shops finally opened for business. It happened to be Gu Tingchuan's day off, so the five members of the Gu family worked in the cake shop in the morning and in the beauty salon in the afternoon.
In order to make the scene more grand, Gu Feixue reluctantly found some people to perform the lion dance.
Free tasting of baked cakes and breads is also provided, and anyone passing by the door can taste them.
The Gu family's shop attracted many tourists and diners.
Although the Gu family members' accents did not sound like those of Jiangzhou locals and the name of the store was confusing, everyone was attracted by the fragrant cakes and breads.
"Hey, Nanny, why is this place selling food called the Golden House?"
A beautiful young girl looked at the old woman beside her in confusion.
"Miss, if you are interested, we can go in and take a look. But there are many people inside, so please be careful."
The two of them entered this very different shop.
When the door curtain was opened, the aroma of eggs and milk rushed into their hearts, and they couldn't help but squint their eyes as if enjoying it.
"Something looks delicious!"
When she opened her eyes, the girl saw all kinds of baked bread and cakes displayed on the shelves.
"No wonder this shop is called the Golden House!"
It turns out that they are not selling gold, but these golden foods!
The two of them couldn't help but show a look of sudden enlightenment.
The popularity of the shop made the bosses and shopkeepers on the same street astonished, and they began to ask others about the origins of the owner of the Golden House.
At this time, the Gu family members were getting their clothes cut in a shop on another street.
"Thank you all for coming to my Yan Ruyu opening ceremony today. I declare that all the items in the shop are 50% off today."
After saying that, Gu Feixue and the Gu family cut the red satin short.
The power of half fold is indeed extremely shocking both in modern times and in ancient times.
As soon as they mentioned that they were selling perfume, many women rushed forward.
Most of these women were young girls, and of course there were also wives and concubines from wealthy families.
When these people saw the scene inside Yan Ruyu's shop, their eyes lit up.
There was a thick plush carpet under the shop. The lights were very bright, and there were also very charming paintings of ladies on the walls.
The whole shop is filled with various gentle, lingering and non-pungent floral scents.
All the women couldn't help but indulge in the top-level olfactory enjoyment.
